As is Well known, handles adapted for the handle so that it is protected against comrange doors and the like must be insulated in ing into contact with the hand. some way or another, in order to prevent Vhat I claim is or to reduce the transfer of heat to the por- A handle for range doors and the like intion of the handle grasped by the hand. This eluding a spindle and a wire member surinsulation has been effected in a suitable way rounding the spindle and having the body by making the handle in the form of a heliportion thereof in the form of a helix, and cally wound wire attached to a spindle. the terminal coils of the helix being extended Such a handle is well adapted to keep the inwardly within the body portion and atheat away from the outer portion of the tached to the outer end of the spindle said handle, but the spindle of the handle, which outer end of the spindle terminatingwithin is secured directly in the door or the like, the body portion to prevent contact of the will, under all circumstances, be highly heathand therewith when the handle is grasped. ed and the outer end of the spindle may then In testimony whereof I aifix my signature. 15 also be heated so as to burn it it coincides ERIK AUGUST BOLINDER.

with the outer end of the handle, as has, generally, been the case hitherto.

This disadvantage is removed by the arrangement provided according to the pres- 20 ent invention, which substantially is char- 7 acterized by the fact that the outer end portion of the handle is of such a shape that the outer end of the spindle connected with the end portion of the handle terminates inward- 25 ly of the outer end of the handle.

With respect to helically wound handles, as stated above, the arrangement according to the invention is carried into effect in a simple manner, in that the wire coils forming the outer end portion of the handle do not extend as an outward continuation of the other coils but, instead, are turned in an inward direction, the outer end of the spindle being attached to the inturned coils. There- 35 fore, the hand by which the handle is grasped 5 can not contact with the end of the spindle.

In the accompanying drawing the figure is a side elevation illustrating the arrangement 40 as applied to a helically wound handle.

The handle consists, first, of the spindle 1 secured, for instance, in the door of a kitchen range, and, second, of the helically wound Wire 2 which is attached with its inner end to the spindle in any suitable manner. The outer end portion of the handle is wound so that the coils 3 and 4 are directed inwardly instead of as a continuation of the part 2 and innermost coil 4 is secured to the 59 outer end of the spindle at a point within
